Summit Aviation Inc.

Summit Aviation Inc., a Delaware-based for-profit aircraft maintenance company, operates predominantly as a prime contractor (91% of awards) providing helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft maintenance, repair, component manufacturing, and sustainment services to federal agencies on a full-and-open competitive basis with no SBA set-asides. The company holds two active single-award indefinite-delivery contracts with the Department of the Interior totaling $22.7 million through 2027 and 2031, respectively, and serves as a subcontractor to Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman on defense helicopter programs.

Summit Aviation's federal footprint is dominated by the Department of the Interior's Office of Policy Management and Budget, which accounts for 194 awards (79% of the named customer base) worth $82.3 million in combined potential value. This customer concentration stems from two core IDIQs: a $12 million single-award contract (April 2021 through March 2026) for on-call fleet aircraft maintenance supporting the United States Park Police helicopter operations in Washington, D.C., and a $5 million single-award contract (December 2022 through November 2027) for aircraft fleet maintenance across the Department of the Interior's land and resource management programs in the lower 48 states. A third contract, awarded March 19, 2026, raised the USPP capacity to $17.7 million (through March 31, 2031) to encompass comprehensive helicopter maintenance including inspections, preventive maintenance, repairs, rebuilding, alterations, avionics work, parts manufacturing, and engine and rotor services. Representative delivery orders under these vehicles include a $990.5 million order (November 2023, completion August 2024) for on-call USPP maintenance, a $611.2 thousand order (June 2025, completion March 2026), and a $643.3 thousand order (August 2026, completion October 2026) for Park Police helicopter sustainment. Work is performed at Summit Aviation's facility in Middletown, Delaware.

Secondary customer concentration emerges in defense helicopter modernization. United States Special Operations Command places 35 awards (25.9 million combined potential value) primarily as task orders against three indefinite-delivery contracts (IND17PC00205 with 84 task orders, 140D8021D0008 with 64 task orders, and IND12PC00158 with 52 task orders). The Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command holds 45 awards ($2.8 million), with the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Aviation placing 14 awards ($1 million). These SOCOM and Army awards route Summit Aviation as a subcontractor to Boeing on CH-47F Chinook and UH-1N replacement programs (parts kits, fuselage aerospace support, non-recurring engineering for fast-rope insertion systems, cabin door assemblies, and long-lead item procurement) and to Lockheed Martin on MH-47G Block II variants (logistics support, field-service labor, material disposition, and life-cycle research and analysis). Northrop Grumman engagements include avionics can-bus hub manufacturing.

Award volume has trended upward across the past five years — 13 awards in 2022 to a peak of 26 in 2025 — with 14 awards recorded year-to-date in 2026. The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months remains shallow: only three awards (combined potential value $748 thousand) face ultimate completion within that window, and the two primary Interior IDIQs extend through 2027 and 2031. Service Contract Inventory reports $3.3 million in invoiced revenue on four SCI-reportable prime records (FY2023–FY2024); SCI FTE trajectory shows 0.0 FTEs reported, reflecting the fact that most Summit Aviation work is goods and maintenance task orders below the SCI threshold rather than labor-intensive service contracts. The company's NAICS concentration runs to Other Support Activities for Air Transportation (259 awards), Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (68 awards), and Aircraft Manufacturing (12 awards); PSC concentration spans maintenance and repair of aircraft components (241 awards) and aircraft structural components (47 awards). Summit Aviation has held a federal contractor registration since 2002 and competes without SBA designations in open federal procurement.
